The Estonian
head of state said at the press conference following the meeting that both
Estonian and Dutch people value the ease of arranging their everyday lives, the
president's press service reports. "We appreciate the advantages of
digital society and Estonia will gladly share its experiences. I would like to
take the opportunity to thank the Netherlands for recognizing our digital
signature," the president added.

"Ties
between our people are not limited to contacts at the political level. Our
businesses, students and scientists work together, which for me is a clear sign
that we think similarly. By the way, the Netherlands is the third-largest
foreign investor in Estonia after our closest neighbors," Kaljulaid
explained.

Speaking
about defense-related cooperation, the president pointed out that the
Netherlands has been contributing to the work of the Tallinn-based NATO Cooperative
Cyber Defense Center of Excellence for years, their fighters have patroled our
airspace and the country is Estonia's biggest partner in defense procurements.
"Such mutual trust is based on our historical experiences, common values
and approach to the international situation, which does not differ in any
questions which truly matter, be it Brexit or European Union issues,"
Kaljulaid said.
